The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low NW-SE drumlin ridge. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dimd c. 58m NW-SE; c. 50m NE-SW) defined by a single fosse (Wth c. 2-4m) NW-E-SE is visible on Digital Globe (c. 2013). The defining fosse is less clearly visible in grass SE-SW-NW, and the enclosure is cut by a NW-SE field bank. It is also visible on OSI images (1995) and on Google Earth (12/07/2013, 13/08/2015), and it was first reported by Ken Williams.
